A Delectable Corned Beef Sandwich with Guinness BBQ Sauce
Recipe courtesy of Alpha Baking Company
Celebrating St. Patrick's Day with a tall Guinness is a given, but instead of drinking it, why not make it into the perfect addition to a corned beef sandwich? This type of meat is also synonymous with the Irish day, so the combo is truly as lucky as kissing the Blarney Stone or finding a four-leaf clover.
It starts off with two slices of Alpha Baking Company's S.Rosen's rye bread and is followed by juicy corned beef. But create your own Guinness BBQ sauce (after a sip or two, of course) for a smokey, sweet, and thick addition to the sandwich. It's all balanced out by honey mustard cabbage slaw. Serve with potato chips and another stout, like they surely are in Ireland!
